BÖHLER FOX CEL Stick electrode
Classifications unalloyed cellulosic
EN ISO 2560-A: AWS A5.1:
E 38 3 C 2 1 E6010
Characteristics and field of use
Cellulose coated Stick electrode for vertical welding of the root (down and up), hot pass, filler
and cover pass welding of large pipelines. Ideally suited for welding the root pass. Highly0nomical
when compared with vertical up welding, also in combination with basic vertical down electrodes.
BÖHLER FOX CEL is characterised by a very intensive, fine-droplet depositing, as well as good
toughness properties. Insensitive to weather conditions, high resistance to the formation of
shrinkage grooves. HIC and SSC resistance tested according to NACE TM 02-84 or TM 01-77.
